hi friends,
some time ago i contact my senator through this site
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1085/show
and wrote to him about plight of workers in limbo for years
if not decades ... following is response i recieved... request
all those stuck in GC limbo to contact their senators...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. immigration policy is based on four underlying principles: reunification of families, admissions of immigrants with needed skills, protection of refugees, and diversity of admission by country of origin. The Immigration and Nationality Act specifies priorities for permanent immigration using a complex set of numerical limits and preference categories. Immediate relatives, defined as spouses of citizens, children (under 21 years of age and unmarried) of citizens, and parents of citizens 21 years of age or older, have been given priority in the immigration process.
Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) introduced S.1085 on May 20, 2009. This legislation seeks to reduce current immigration backlogs by classifying lawful permanent resident (LPR) spouses and children as "immediate relatives." Currently, spouses and children of LPRs must obtain visas through the Family Second Preference category. This can lead to a waiting period of several years. Among other things, this bill would allow unused and unclaimed visas from 1992-2007 to be placed back in the pool of current available visas for families, and would establish a �roll over� system for unused and unclaimed visas in the future. This bill has been referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, where it awaits further review.
I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to craft effective solutions to address our nation�s immigration problems. I will keep your thoughts in mind should S.1085, or any similar legislation, come before me in the full Senate.

Off Lately in this forum and thru my freinds I am hearing premiums are also getting delayed..
Even in My case Fedex has reached uscis on Jan 17 , for me and my family but checks have not yet got cleared..
my lawyer says , nowadays the delay is because vermont cases are getting transferred to Calisfornia center for H1 Extension ..
Not sure what is the truth...Just waiting for Premium H1 extension to get cleared soon...

A friend of mine has PhD in aeronautics from a top tier university here in US. He will be soon starting teaching in a university and planning to file his GC under EB-1.
Are there any risks in getting I-140 approved under EB-1? or just having a PhD does not automatically qualify anyone under EB-1 category.?
Since he is born in India so reluctant to file under EB-2 due to endless wait.

Hello,
Sorry I cant give you suggestions since I am not there yet. But I have a question,
Can we file I140 through NIW in EB3 ?? It doesnt require an EB2.
thanks

Does the bill have provisions to increase residency positions ? I heard few months back about hard lobbying to increase the match positions by 15000 to accomodate new patients because of the mandate. Any idea?
Thanks
A
Havent seen any increase in residency positions.
I dont think the bill addresses the 'real' issues that are plaguing health care in this country.

Don't worry, the same thing happenned with my wife (labor approval lost in mail) and it took her 3 months for 140 approval. For me, everything was fine and it took 6 months for 140 approval - isn't USCIS the best part of the American experience?:mad:

The Original Post said he was contracting for Federal Govt. It is possible to contract with most Depts on H-b, EAD , GC regardless of your immigration status.
It is not true, that it is not possible to work in Fed Govt on H1 or EAD. Hundreds of contractors work for the Federal govt in DC area who are on H1-Bs.

Sorry to hear the situation.
As you know if you can find another job based on H1 then no problem in porting your H1 to a new employer,now being in feb april is 50 days away so hope for best.
In this situation, yes, legal advice is preferred, relying info on the forums is never a right idea when it comes to a situation where stakes are high.
If there is any option of changing to H4 now and switching back to H1 later and pick the GC process where it was left before then that would be an ideal scenario, only an experienced attorney can answer this, hence the legal advice option.
Compared to H4, over stay may cause more trouble for now and later in AOS.
PS: My 2 cents and i'm not an attorney.

dear friends,
My cousin brother (15 yrs old) has been recently diagnosed with blood cancer. He is going under treatment at TATA memorial hospital in mumbai. I have posted this before in a different thread and thanks to all for giving me valuable information. The doctors gave him a good chance for recovery. He is going through several bone marrow treatments and regular blood transfusion. We need O+ blood. I would be grateful if anybody can give me some names of prospective donors or donor groups and their contact details in mumbai. Due to urgency of the matter I will keep this thread visible by bumping up occasionally. If you wish you can e-mail me the details at sounakc@gmail.com
warm regards

How can you MTR for the 485 which was denied based on a denied 140? What were the grounds for denial?
It was due to attorney's mistake.

Are you working for your new employer now? (I assume not).
Is you new employer a consultancy, i.e, your final work assignment will be for another client... if so, then you should expect a RFE (not gauranteed, but most likely) regarding client details and contracts... assuming you fall under this category, I would suggest you to apply for premium processing if you are able to respond to such an RFE...
But otherwise, I wouldn't recommend using premium processing, since you are almost 6 months away from expiry....

My application was received on July 3 at NSC. Till now, I haven't received any notices. I got the RNs by calling USCIS.
Now, I placed an expedite order on my EAD on Friday. They sent me a mail saying my app was received on Oct 10 and not July 3 (yeah right! if it was oct 10, why would you even accept it?). So I faxed them the fedex delivery signature confirmation. Today I see a LUD on my EAD app but nothing else has changed.
Can anyone shed some light on what might possibly going on here? I can probably wait for some more time to find out for sure but I am curious. Guys with approved EAD - did you see a LUD on your app before it was approved?
Thanks
Iam a july 2nd filer at NSC and haven't received my receipt numbers yet. can I ask you when you got your receipt numbers? Thanks a lot!

fionaapple20: Safest and clean route is to find an another employer and transfer H1B. Make sure your current employer does not revoke your 140, in case if its not approved. Additionally, it is highly recommended to invoke AC21 after your 140 is approved and 180 days passed.

if you have applied in NSC, if you are not pushing it to move (through expedite SR or through local congressman etc), prepare to wait for close 120+ days. I am not kidding.
How long is it taking now a days to get AP approval. I am from TX and e-filed on 2nd Oct (ND 4th OCT 2010) and want to know when I can expect the approval.

so many complications, so many rules to know - we might as well be immigration attorneys!! we (or at least some of us) pretty much know more about the INS and immigration laws than the average immigration attorney :D
